I still have confidence they will come out.
There is a prime reason that SOF training goes to such lengths to identify and weed out potential quiters. The principle is simple: "In combat, if you quit you die!!" These guys are not quiters. They probably split up making it easier for individuals to remain concealed and evade capture.

Oddity I am seeing with this:
The reports are stating MAJ Stephen Reich as the first Soldier recovered and that he is being evaluated in Landstuhl Germany; yet all the acompanying photos show "MAJ Stephen Reich's widow being consoled". Same captions yesterday on different photos.
Am I missing something here??? 
I thought he was still alive...
These guys need new wheelbarrows for their nads, and an appointment to SERE committee

MAJ Reich was from 160th and is dead from the crash. His body was recovered last week.
The recovered SEAL's name has not yet been released but he is reputedly recovering in Landstuhl.
HTH.

U.S. Confirms Two Missing SEALS Found Dead
Monday, July 04, 2005
WASHINGTON — Two Navy SEALS (search) missing in Afghanistan have been found dead, a senior U.S. defense official said Monday night.
Another SEAL was rescued on Saturday and the fate of a fourth SEAL was unknown.
The official who confirmed the recovery of the two bodies spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing effort to account for the missing U.S. servicemen in Afghanistan (search).
The team was reported missing last Tuesday in Kunar province. A rescue effort the same day ended in tragedy when the transport helicopter seeking to extract the team was shot down, killing 16 troops aboard.
The serviceman rescued on Saturday had taken shelter in an Afghan village elder's home in the province before American forces were notified of his location and picked him up, Kunar provincial Gov. Asadullah Wafa (search) said.
A purported Taliban spokesman, Mullah Latif Hakimi, claimed last week that militants had captured one team member. He said the "high-ranking American" was caught in the area where the helicopter went down.
Hakimi, who also claimed insurgents shot down the helicopter, often calls news organizations to take responsibility for attacks, and the information frequently proves exaggerated or untrue. His exact tie to the Taliban leadership is unclear.
U.S. officials said they had no evidence indicating any service members had been taken into captivity.
The Navy SEAL rescued from Kunar province was being evaluated Monday, officials said. He was in stable condition and receiving medical treatment at the main U.S. base at Bagram (search).
